Hello ! We're a French working couple, we live in our nice cosy flat in Paris surburbs with our 2 great rescue cats, Petrus (12) and Nala (11). We took them from a cat shelter when they already were grownup cats 8 years ago, and they give us so much love and gratefulness (when the'yre not sleeping nor eating !) that we tend to believe they're quite happy with us :-)

We work a lot and enjoy to take a break from hustling and bustling Paris to more peaceful places. We've travelled far far away (Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia), and closer (Austria, Italy, Spain, and France of course). As genuine animal lovers, each time we took the opportunity to meet the local animals : whether special day at the zoo or petting farm, elephant day-caretaker in Thailand, wild birds observation in Brittany, an afternoon horseriding in the countryside... We choose very carefully the places we go, as animal wellness is the most important. We ban places only money-driven with no ethics regarding animals.

We speak good English and are kind, reliable and calm though cheerful persons. We are not party people and enjoy being quiet and cosy, especially during holidays : we usually rent houses and spend quiet cosy evenings watching Netflix shows on the sofa.

Besides animals and travelling, we enjoy nature, walking, visiting castles and museums, countryside, seaside and good food & drink. Brice is fond of rugby, pastries and beer (he brews his own beer at home), and as for me, I'm fond of cheese, history books and beanies !

We are very respectful of people, animals, houses and belongings: your rules will be ours, and we will keep your pets happy and your house tidy :-)

Why we want to house sit

Pets (animals in general) and travels are what we enjoy the most, so THS provides us with a great opportunity to combine both.

Of course, we don't take our cats on holiday with us, they're much better home with the greatest catsitter ever (my mom !). We are the kind of people whose cats are very much a part of our life : they're always with us, they follow us wherever we are in our flat, they watch TV with us, sleep at our feet on our bed... We miss our cats a lot when we're away, and look for pet company to fill the "petlove gap" and make new petfriends! So don't look any more for other sitter, here we are, allset for the cudling and playing and having fun with your pets ! We'd be very happy to provide our loving company and attentive care to your pets when you're away from home, so you'll enjoy your holiday even more !

Our experience

CATS : Beside our own cats, we have petsitted family's and friends' pets. We are very experienced with cats : Brice has always had cats and I've had cats for the past 20 years. Our 2 rescue cats having unfortunately medical conditions, and being on a special veterinary diet, we are pretty much used to attentive and dedicated care : give medication twice a day everyday, feed them on special food and/or quantities several times a day, make sure that one cat doesn't eat the other cat's food, handle them for cutting claws, cleaning ears... we definitely are cat experts !

DOGS : Our experience with dogs so far is cuddling & playing with friends' dogs, and one memorable weekend in a husky farm, with husky-hiking & cuddling in the Vosgian mountains : we got so thrilled about it and loved it so much! I think this week-end made us definitely fall in love with dogs :-) So we'd be more than happy to petsit, cuddle and play with dogs, should you entrust us with yours. As we enjoy walking, we'd love to have a companion to walk with us.

HORSES : I know a little bit about horses as I took 6 month horseriding lessons 2 years ago, so I'm ok with the basics : leaving them out in the morning and back in the stable in the evening, brushing, hoof cleaning. My riding is very basic too, so I'd rather not ride your horse alone, as I'm a very cautious person.

FARM ANIMALS : we've visited quite some petting farms and have had a hand quite a few times on various animals, so we're quite comfortable with taking care of your farm pets as well. I have a special crush on goats (don't know why, maybe I was a goat in a previous life :-))

Sandrine and Brice were the perfect house sitters. From first meeting them it was clear that they were real animal lovers and we knew that our dog and cat were going to be in good hands. They sent updates along the way with some pictures and on return the pets clearly enjoyed being looked after by them. The house was kept tidy and looked after and we really enjoyed meeting them and spending some time with them. We wouldn't hesitate to use them again, or to recommend them to others.

We are very happy to have had Sandrine and Brice look after our cat and house for a week! They are friendly, reliable, easy going, it was a real pleasure to meet them. Our quite independent British Shorthair absolutely loved them too and became very comfortable around them quite quickly. We had frequent photo footage of how great they got along which was fantastic to see. They really have a way with pets and you can tell that they adore animals in general. The house was also impeccable when we returned. We really recommend them and hope they would accept to pet sit again for us in the future when we move to France! Thank you so much, Sandrine & Brice!

No-one could ask for better house/dog sitters than Sandrine and Bris. They are a delightful couple who are are completely dedicated to animals. They quickly made themselves familiar with the household routine and took care of my two golden retrievers beautifully while I was away. Walking, brushing, feeding, playing and of course plenty of cuddles.. they sent me reports and beautiful photos of their activities. When I returned home it was to two happy dogs, a clean and tidy house and a cooked meal.. I couldn't ask for more. My boys will miss them! It was also truly lovely to spend time with this couple myself. A real treat. If you have the opportunity to have them look after your home and animals, grab it! My very best wishes to them both..
